A few years since, as | foated with
my gallant soldier father on the sluggish

the haze of a sunset light stalk of the

As | held the pink, cool petal to my

beautiful as the flower in tint and form.
Strange how her face uprose with that
pink blossom; the woman of my boy
hoods dream. Strange, as the flower
lay against my cheek, that there should
come suggestion, through the cool
petal, of her treachery.
Was there some subtle connection with
the sacred rite of religion past and
gone, the life 50 full of Egypts sensuous
symbols, wherein each soul imprisoned
in hawk or lotus flower possessed spir-
ltual shade or companion?
Was this prescience suggested by some

A DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
How Children on South ChapIine Street
Eri1htAn HorkeE

How Children on South ChapIine Street
Brighten Horses.
SIS there no way this nuisance can be
stopped ?" said a prominent citizen to a
reporter as they were driving along south
Chapline street, the other evening, and a
rascally small boy hurled tin can Of dust
at the horses head. After the animal had
got through plunging and trying TO walk
on her hind feet, and the buggy settled
back on all four wheels, the scribe wiped
the dust from his eyes and said: ''I'll be
damaged if know; does that kind CT
business occur often?"
"Well," remarked the gentleman, Il
must admit that dust throwing is rather IN
the shape of new departure, but those
COMPOUNDED boys play in the street here all
the time and when vehicle of any sort
comes along they either run in front OF the
horses yelling like Comanche Indians, or
do something else equally as bad, to fright
en- the horses. Sometimes they stand right
in front of an approaching vehicle and re-
main until the animal is almost against
them, then they jump aside. Should any
of them get hurt all the blame would be
heaped on the drivers head, where if the
driver were to be thrown out and ipJurei
they would receive no punishment"
"If nothing else can be done to stop 1t,
may be a good horse whipping would have
some effect"
THAT would probably be effective, but
their parents would doubtless have one ar
rested for assault. 1t is dangerous prac-
tice. however, and there should be some
way to stOpit. Many people with risky
horses are afraid to drive down that street. "

PRINTING THE ORDINANCES.

The special committee, appointed some
six weeks ago, to ascertain and report upon
the cost of compiling and printing the
ordinances Of the city, reported that it
would cost about $1,000 to print 1000
copies of the proposed book. Mr.. Cald-
well offered resolution referring the mat
ter to the Committee on Ordinances with
power to have the work done. The report
of the special committee was ordered filed,
and the consideration of the resolution was
commenced. Mr.. Allison led off with his
right, by moving as a substitute for Mr..
Caldwell's motion, that the work be left
in the hands Of the special committee.
The gentleman disclamed, however, that
he had any idea of rejecting upon any one.
Mr.. Caldwell parted this blow, and
hinged with statement to the
effect that he had understood
a Mr. Kelley, of Bellaire, had been spoken
to in regard to the compilation, and he did
not see why the work could not be done by
the City Solicitor, whose legitimate busi-
ness it seemed to be. The Committee on
Ordinances would probably take that view
of it, and he hoped that Committee would
be allowed to manage the job.
Mr.. Allison struck back by saying that
he remembered, some years ago, when his
partner (Mr. Erskine) was City Solicitor,
the Job was withheld from him and given to
Mr.. Il. A. Galligan, at the price of $50
more than Mr.. Erskine's bid. This pre-
cedent seemed to be somewhat against the
stand taken by Mr.. Caldwell. Mr.. Allison
admitted having spoken to Mr.. Kelley, and
also admitted having spoken to MIR. Cald-
well, and a number of other gentlemen, on
the same subject.
Mr.. Caldwell seemed to have been tenn
porarily knocked out by this, but he got
his wind in moment and tackled his OPP
ponent in another way by saying the
special committee had fully discharged the
duties assigned it, and its labors had
ceased. He also said he didn't care
whether he got the job or not, but he
hoped the Ordinance Committee would he
given the supervision Of the work. Some
more eloquence was INDUCED in, and then
the question on the substitute Of Mr.. ALI
son was put and carried. The main
question, of ordering the compiling and
printing Of the ordinances, was then put.
Midway in the vote Mr.. Cruise inteTjected
an amendment, which the Chair cheerful
ly accepted and declared adopted, and
then the roll call was finished and the ex-
penditure declared au thorized. This end
ed this particular fight-for the time being.
The First Branch refused to concur in this
action, and sent the document back, but
the Second Branch stood by its action.
